Prostitution.

Sex and masturbating are two completely different feelings.

Most people who go to prostitutes don't go because they want sex, they go because they're lonely. Masturbating doesn't give you that sense of someone wanting to you, even if it's fake. It is possible for two people to have sex and not become emotionally attached. There's plenty of jobs already that are emotionally straining. How is that any different?

People can do other things besides sex to relieve lonliness. Sex is a natural thing too. It's not something that should be sold. Not many people can have sex without emotional straining, particuarly women...who -lets face it- would make up the majority of prostitutes.
Also haven't humans evolved enough to realize selling someone's body is wrong?

It isn't someone's, it's yours. Just because they make something legal doesn't mean you have to do it. Smoking is legal and it kills you. Drinking is legal and it harms you. Just because those are legal doesn't mean everyone is out doing it. You know the risks and if you're willing to take them it shouldn't be a big deal. Prostitution is legal in Canada and you don't see me being a prostitute.

As I've stated before, lots of jobs are emotionally straining, how is paying for sex any different?

Well if they did legalize it they shouldn't regulate the health of the women. If they want to do that, they should face the consequences and let evolution take it's course. Survival of the fittest.

So why should their be health regulations for every other job but not this one? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

And why are you only saying there's women prostitutes? There are male prostitutes.

I personally don't find it should be leagal, because it's disrespectful to your body. Sex should be something special. It may be the longest job in history, but that doesn't make it right. I don't think I'd be okay with my daughter wanting to grow up and be a hooker.

Being the worlds oldest job, doesn't make it any less wrong.
It would still cause more harm than good.
Actually, nothing good could come of it.

I don't understand why people think it's totally cool to be able to give something away, but not be able to put a price tag on it.

That's an opinion though. Some people may find it disrespectful to your body but those people don't have to become prostitutes. Many girls sleep around with a lot of guys so the only difference is that they're getting paid for it.

Plus most prostitutes don't really do it for kicks. They need that money and I'm sure a lot have simply been drawn into the industry, rather than growing up, wanting to become a whore.

I think if it was legalized then it would make it a lot easier and safer for prostitutes that are already in the business but then so many young girls would be ditching school and education thinking 'i know i'm a good shag, I might as well make money out of it'. Plus i don't really think it's a very moral, but then again it's not my decision to make; if it becomes legal then it's up to the person in question.

While making prostitution legal would make it a lot safer and help a lot of men and woman on the streets I don't think it would be a good benefit to society.

This is a topic where no one is right and no one is wrong just to get that through. And I just find that it should be something special that you share with one person and it's just that even if it is leagalised, it goes to show what kind of country we are living in. I mean being dragged into something is one thing but if you need the money you go get a normal job. Being a hooker really shouldn't be something someone turns and says hmm lets go have sex with guys for money. It's just not right.

I'm going to throw out there once again:

Prostitution is legal in Canada. What does that say about Canada?

Sometimes getting a "normal" job isn't that easy either. I'm glad you think it is but it's not. It's actually EXTREMELY difficult no matter where you live.

broken hallelujah.:

My mom doesn't have a problem with it.
If you are strong in your body and you don't feel that it's a bad thing to have sex for money, then why not?

PaperWings:

but if you need the money you go get a normal job.

Normal jobs might not pay as well. Minimum wage for flipping burgers? How is that supposed to cover medical bills, rent, utilities, and any other expense that might present itself?

Like Dru said there's bills etc. to worry about and very low paying jobs don't cover it, often. You'd have to take out a loan or something.

Plus, say you're not too good at cleaning up, or waiting tables, but you're good in bed? Prostitution seems like the most obvious answer doesn't it?
I'm not saying it's right and I can't say I approve of prostitution but I can understand why women become prostitutes/hookers.

furthur:

But it isn't just the person who is getting payed.
What happens when the next trick comes up and asks ifhe's clean.he wouldn't have a clue and would sayhe is. Then the person paying could contract it.
So there are so many problems that could come of that, if it did become legal here, if they didn't check the prostitutes out.
There still would be problems because they can't test everyone after each 'job'.

I'm not sure where you're getting your information from but it's not legal.

Actually it is.

Selling your body is legal, soliciting is not.

Explain the difference.

I suppose we're from different countries because we have assistance and such. And the thing is there are more than weighing tables and such. And if you're awful at those jobs you go to school, if you don't have money for school you get a loan because the thing about it is; by the time you're 26-30. No one wants to sleep with you. You're too old and what do you tell the people you went to high school with.. oh yeah, I'm glad you're a lawyer, I decided to sell my body?
